Happiness Project Toolbox

I got a job! I start on Monday. Wow! What a surprise! God is sooooo good!

I want to become more aware of God's glory in my daily life. I take Him for granted. I see Him at work in my life and the lives of those I love, but I don't think I am as thankful as I should be. I need to be a better example to my girls.

Whoa! Things are getting very dicey around here. Thankfully, I am not slipping into a funk. Got to trust that God is gonna handle it. I feel quite helpless, though. I need a job! Something to do! Guess I'll try to keep writing. Who knows!

I love looking out and seeing the river. Now, it is blocked by beautiful green leaves. I don't mind that, though. It is nice to see Spring arrive. I am excited about grilling and continuing my quest for healthy meals. Going to enjoy today!

Today is gonna be a great day! Everyone is going to come home this afternoon and be impressed with all I've accomplished!

I'm off track. I'm happy but I'm losing sight of my goals. I thought things were going well on the job front but I've just found out that could be another month off. I want to use that month to get back on track. We sold our house so that is helpful.

Wow! It is amazing to think I've been to GA and back already and drove a 14ft. truck all the way! God has just really blessed me!

So much has been happening, but I know that God is taking care of me/us. Plus, I get to go to GA tomorrow!!!

Feeling better today. Think I'll take the medicine a couple of more times to totally rid myself of the congestion. Makes for a rough day, but it will pay off with a nice weekend. Still want to get out and walk.

Things are getting a little harder. I'm not feeling 100% so that is probably why. Sinuses. Ugh!!! Hopefully, they'll clear up soon. Still exercising, just not enjoying it as much.

Why is it that some weeks drag by? Thank goodness it's Wednesday! Have to re-energize today. Resist the desire to go back to bed!

Wow! It's only Tuesday night. It seems like a long week already. Not much going on today. Waiting to hear on the two house inspections. Guess we'll have all the answers tomorrow afternoon.

Slow start this morning. Gotta get the girls up and out and then head for the Wii. Going up to the 40s later this week, so hope to get out and walk, too. Trying to stay high energy. Just feels so much better that way!

The weekend is winding down. I'm ready to take the coming week head on. I'm excited about exercising tomorrow. I'm also looking forward to making progress in other areas. I plan to have the picture frames done by the end of the week.

We have to get back into church. This week I'm going to add Bible reading to my morning routine. I will breach the church subject early in the week and maybe everyone will be prepared on Sunday.

Today seemed really long. Hubby cooked a wonderful dinner. He also bought me a book I've wanted to read. I've finished it already. Another happy day!

What a week! Didn't cry at all this week. So glad I didn't slip back into the depression I was in before the holidays. There are things that scare me ahead. Taking one day at a time helps a lot. Don't dwell on the past, don't worry about the future!

Another day with a late start. School was delayed two hours. Girls are about to leave and I will get started. Sure, I could have gotten up, but the extra sleep was nice!

It has been an odd day. Oh, well. Gotta another one coming at me tomorrow.

Wow! I am behind today... That's what happens when hubby goes into work late. I've done my exercising, though! I'm off to shower and run my errands.

I'm happy. I keep expecting it to go away, but it hasn't yet.

Cannot overemphasize the benefits of exercise. I say this now so when I lose my fire I can be reminded of how good it makes me feel. Lots of energy! Amazing how that works!

It has been hard getting up in the mornings. I feel super tired right now. I have noticed that I have been happier. I was really worried about how things would be when the holidays were over and I was home alone again. Exercise really helps!

It's been a pretty long day. Getting ready to watch the Orange Bowl. Hope I can make it until at least halftime. Got a couple of major things accomplished. Exercised! Overall, pretty good day!

Trying to continue to focus on positive and not get weighed down by the negative. Some things seems pretty dire sometimes, but taking it one day at a time is very helpful.

Had some bumps in the road today, but managed to get back to a positive frame of mind. Lots of challenges. Exercised this morning, which I think helped a lot. Think I will turn in early and get at it again tomorrow.

Today I begin on the path to happiness. Recent changes have brought me to the brink of depression. I will embrace those changes so I can be a less stressed, happy mom. Change is a part of life and things can't be undone now. I will move forward.
